Lockout or no lockout if a NFL team is still Pondering their QB situation and were not prepared for this then there are many more issues with your football team then the actual human that will eventually get his butt whipped this year. What a joke…

Sun, 05 Jun 2011 20:21:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=134085#comment-1088171I just love the way you guys now throw Childress under the bus. Everything is Childress’ fault!

If you’d like to show me where I claimed to be a scout, I’d love to see it… How about even hinted at it or acted like a scout?… If you read my comments, they might be educated from years of watching football and reading football books. What I’m saying about Ponder might be something all scouts agree on, but anyone that looks at the clips can see it.

I can’t make up what is right there, look at it. He throws a beautiful lob ball and completes it against broken coverage. All I’ve explained is the obvious, I know in viking circles that would probably make me a GM (probably the most successful), but in most NFL circles it makes me a pretty smart seasoned fan.

And this site tries to get rid of comments that are either profane – without much thought or if they are so ignorant they should make the poster blush… In your case, based of your previous craftsmanship with the keyboard – it’s hard to tell which of the two applies. Maybe a bit of both? If you’re smart (this might be a stretch) you might want to clean it up before they ban you.

Second, if packer fans always stated the truth, the WHole truth, & NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, you would not get so much criticizm

If you dont claim to be a scout or want to be addressed as such, dont post like one or claim you know more than all else

Childresses o-line scheme blatantly sucked but so did most of his personell decisions. Yes his zone blocking scheme sucked ass, but the personell he has picked to succeed the likes of Matt Birk is complete crap. Sullivan may be smart, but is way undersized for his position. I personally knew that when Childress kicked Birk out of town, that was the beginning of something very bad. It was his way or the highway, he was always trying to put square pegs in round holes, an instant red flag for any coach. Zygi should have seen it but refused to admit his mistake. the writing is on the walls that chili could not get another job, he just sucked.

Never claimed to be a scout… Never talked about his greatest hits on youtube as being game film. So your point isn’t very valid, is it? The clip on youtube is just general access for anyone to view, so that we don’t have a discussion in a bubble.

And all I said is look for yourself. Take in all that is Ponderific. If you look with nuetral eyes you’ll see a weak arm. You’ll see acurate throws, but with lots of air under them.

The other thing you’ll see is very little pressure on Ponder. Most of the big plays aren’t stretch plays, they’re intermediate passes against broken coverage…

But you know all that cause you’ve actually watched Ponder… Somehow I doubt it, otherwise you’d see the same thing I see, a 2nd to 3rd round flyer… The next Rick Mier.

The zone blocking scheme has got to be the stupidest thing Childress ever did, you are right. However, you cannot honestly sit here and tell me John Sullivan and Anthony Herrera are quality starters and wouldn’t find trouble finding a starting job on another team. I like our draft, Damarcus Love could be one of the biggest steals of the draft. Hopefully Love and Brandon Fusco can turn out to be starters or at least quality backups.

The OL personnel is not the problem, besides depth. The problem is the stupid zone blocking system Col. Klink installed. It may have worked in Philly but it didn’t in Minnesota. But he had a “my way or the highway” attitude that will never work in the NFL. These men are meant to play hard nosed old school hit em’ hard cliche cliche man to man blocking. The entire coaching staff saw it but didn’t say a word for fear of their jobs and public humiliation. See where the OL won’t be a problem!

Sun, 05 Jun 2011 01:15:13 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=134085#comment-1087759Here’s the plan:

1. Sign a serviceable veteran QB who can start for a while but is content to be a backup.

———————————————–

These mythical veteran QBs don’t exist anywhere but in never-never-land and the dreams of good little boys and girls.

If they were any good, they’d be employed.

I mean, even Rex-Frigging-Grossman sees himself as the starter for the Redskins!

So you sign the elusive veteran. Do you tailor your offense to his shrinking talent?

That screws up your playbook and prevents the rookie sensation from learning the system the coach wants to install!

If you ask the veteran to play within the team system, and its outside his diminishing skillset, and he has limited time to prepare for the season, he’ll get killed on the field, and lose game after game.

There is no good answer here for the Vikings. And every day that passes without getting both that veteran and hot shot rookie into camp means the season will be more and more dismal.

The offensive line ALWAYS matters. You cannot simply have even an athletic quarterback running for his life on every play. As far as running goes, defenses are just gonna stack 8 in the box until we can prove we can beat them through the air. We seen it for 3 seasons with the Vikings, the exception of course being the 2009 season. Yes, I would rate Brett Favre ahead of Joe Webb, Tarvaris, and Bomar. Why else do you think the team begged him to come back? Simple, no matter the circumstance he gave the Vikings the best chance to win every Sunday. Unfortunately for us it didn’t work out very well this past season.

I bet you saw a couple Jamarcus Russell 80 yard bombs and knew he was the next best thing

I’ll give you the secondary, but if Webb starts the OL won’t matter. He proved that in the games at “The Bank” and Tuesday Night Football in Philly. With Webb creating plays and Peterson and Gerhart running hard we can get into a shootout scoring battle. Don’t tell me we won’t use Gerhart. We don’t want AD hurt so Toby should/will take on a larger role.

P.S. Would you really rate Bret Fart ahead of Joe Webb on last season alone. And AT LEAST give Bomar a chance in Training Camp (if it happens).

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 22:32:35 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=134085#comment-1087680Joe Webb is moving back to Wr for the most part. There will probably be a couple “wildcat” trick plays for him too, but his QB day are over. He’s a good athlete but not a QB.

I still don’t know what all the fuss about Christian “Rubber Arm” Ponder is about. Look at his greatest clips on youtube. 6-10 of those passes he puts in the air get picked off in the NFL. And keep in mind, those are his best throws! Reminds me a lot of Clausen and Rick Meir. Their games don’t really translate to the NFL.

He folds quicker than a Chinese laundry… So the idea of starting him right away… You start him this year and forget about it, he’ll never be the same. in 13 games Favre got sacked 22 times. Put a rookie in their and he’ll get killed.

I also like the way vikefan wants to police boards against Packer fans, but look at all the low-rent viking comments… And yet where’s the outrage? Hmmm…

Sorry, but Minnesota is such an easy target these days. 4-12 if there is a full season.
You got one good year out of Favre. Now the Packers have the last laugh on you. He destroyed your season last year and put you in a horrible position for this year. Ponder may be a great QB but, he won’t have the needed preparation time to show that this coming season.
I thought after Favre threw that interception in the NFC Championship, he was going to rip his Vikings jersey off and show everyone his Packers shirt underneath and declare it was all his grand plan to screw the Vikings!
Well played Favre. Assclown!

The Williams wall is getting older and Petersen may only have 3 or 4 prime years left. Maybe a deal for Carson Palmer or Mcnabb is a better idea. Go for it now while you have most of the pieces in place.

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 19:04:52 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=134085#comment-1087577uh, this has been breaking new since a “home game” in Detroit last season, way to keep ahead of a breaking story.

Tight ends better be ready this year cause defenses will be easily tipping to stop running game and Ponder will want to get ball out fast. I would prefer him not to start the season, guess will wait to see the full list of choices.

Webb was our best QB? Don’t get me wrong I like Joe Webb, but he was hardly our best QB. Our team was so awful that even Favre with nothing left to give was better than a healthy Tarvaris Jackson and Joe Webb. Rhett Bomar hadn’t made a team’s active roster for a reason until of course we signed him. Also, we are further off a SB than one or two receivers. We need offensive linemen that are young (and actually effective) and we need to shore up our secondary. That is a pretty tall order, and trust me, that won’t be a one offseason fix.

Chilly should have done that with Tarvaris too. If Favre didn’t like it, then tough ****.

Webb was easily our best QB last year and Rhett Bomar was supposed to be the steal of his draft but never got to start ahead of Eli in NY. I have thought all along that Joe Webb would be better. He’s like a Mike Vick without a dogfighting scandal. If they get one or two more receivers to replace Berian, we have a real SB team.

Ponder is going to be the SOD. Steel of the draft, for all those who remember Onterio (“that’s not mine yo”) Smith. He once pronounced himself as the SOD and actually was our best RB that year. If Tice would have gave up on Michael Bennet a long time ago and handed it off to my boy we would have had a ridiculous-er running attack.
